Dear Families,

Have you learned Hands-Only CPR yet? Get started at http://www2.heart.org/goto/OlympicViewSchool and join Kids Heart Challenge. One of the most impactful parts of the program is Finn’s Mission where you and your student will learn Hands-Only CPR, know how to spot stroke warning signs and raise funds to help kids with special hearts.

1. Download the AHA Schools app 
2. Raise Funds to help kids with special hearts. Send 5 texts or emails to family & friends.
3. Complete Finn’s Mission in your headquarters.Once you do, you’ll be entered to win a pair of tickets to Super Bowl LXI in 2027!

Did You Know – 90% of people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest don’t survive. Immediate Hands-Only CPR can double, even triple, a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. Make it YOUR mission to help create a lifesaving community.

Goals & Celebrations

• If we reach 50% SIGNED UP and raise $1,000- our school will earn $500 for PE and Playground equipment!
• The top 10 fundraisers will earn an XL Victor Keychain!
• The top fundraising class in lower and upper grades will earn an EXTRA RECESS!

NEW SAFE SCHOOL PROCEDURES!!!!! Very important! Please read!

If you will be entering campus with your child in the mornings, YOU MUST sign in at the front office. Please be sure to go through this information, and download the RAPTOR app. The QR code is located in the presentation.

CLICK HERE to view SAFE CAMPUS Procedures.

Every Minute Counts!

Did you know that being just 5 minutes late each day can add up to a significant loss of learning time over the course of the school year? Every minute matters—especially in the morning when routines are set and learning begins.

Please take a moment to talk with your child about the importance of arriving at school on time every day. Building strong habits now sets the tone for a successful day and a successful year!

Congratulations to Ms. Umali’s 5th and 6th grade class who had the highest average attendance for Quarter 2 with 97.7%!!!!! Ms. Valerio’s class is in the lead for the first two quarters with 98.1%!
